The famous artist, actor, singer, TV presenter and humorist Mikhail Evdokimov was known to almost every person who has ever turned on the TV. Nature rewarded him with a mass of talents, and from a very young age he appeared on the screens of domestic television. At first, he acted as a parodist of the conversational genre, participated in the famous project “Around Laughter”, established himself as a good comedian, TV host and excellent singer. At the beginning of the 21st century, Mikhail Evdokimov decided to change his life goals and fulfilled his old dream - he became a politician. But, unfortunately, this choice became fatal. Evdokimov's life was cut short under complex, mysterious and confusing circumstances, the cause of which is still unknown.
Biography
Before you figure out how Mikhail Evdokimov died, first I would like to tell you about his biography and life path, which led to all the tragic circumstances. Perhaps it is in the description of his life that the riddle lurks. Let's try to figure it out.
Mikhail Evdokimov was born on December 6, 1957in Stalinsk - a city that was located in the Kemerovo region. At the age of one, he moved with his family to Altai. After graduating from school, he entered the Barnaul College as a balalaika player, where he discovered his creative potential. Mikhail Evdokimov changed many professions and at the same time participated in various creative teams. After an unsuccessful attempt to enter the Moscow Circus School, he ends up in the capital's regional philharmonic society, where he begins his professional path as a creative person.
Fateful step
Mikhail Evdokimov has always been liked by the public. People met his characters with great sympathy, and all the successful jokes told by Evdokimov in the episodes of his show went "to the people." This love was mutual, and Mikhail Evdokimov decided to thank all those who supported him. He believed that if you go into politics, then people's lives can be made better and easier. That is why he put forward his candidacy for the election of the governor in his native Altai Territory.
But Mikhail Sergeevich's desire to become a politician appeared back in 1995, when he attempted to run for the State Duma. As mentioned earlier, his dream came true. Perhaps this was the main mistake of Mikhail Evdokimov. After the world of art, humor and laughter, he had to get used to new conditions, where every man is for himself. Conflicts and confrontations with politicians did not remain without traces, but we will talk about this a little later.
Tragedy
Many do not know in what year Mikhail Evdokimov died. The traffic accident happened on August 7, 2005. The cause of death of Mikhail Evdokimov still raises many questions among all people who knew him or were somehow connected with his activities. To understand this terrible tragedy, we will try to restore the chronology of the events of that fateful day and consider many versions.
According to the official version, the traffic accident was the fault of the driver of the Mercedes, in which Mikhail Evdokimov was traveling as a passenger. The driver violated a number of traffic rules, increased speed. While avoiding a collision with an oncoming vehicle, the official vehicle flew into a ditch and smashed into pieces against a tree.
If you go into details of how Mikhail Evdokimov died, the events unfolded as follows. On August 7, Mikhail Evdokimov had to go to the village of Popkovnikovo, where the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the great cosmonaut German Titov was to take place. But Mikhail Sergeevich never reached his destination.
15 kilometers from the village of Zonalnoye, at the intersection of two major roads, Evdokimov's personal driver Ivan Zuev began to overtake a Toyota at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. But unexpectedly for everyone, the driver of the Japanese car turned left, which forced Zuev to sharply turn the car in the opposite direction. As a result of this maneuver, the Mercedes hit the back of the Toyota and, due to inertia, flew into the ditch of the highway.
As witnesses said, the blow wasso strong that Evdokimov's car was in the air for about 20 meters and only then fell to the ground. Airbags installed around the entire perimeter of the car did not work. The driver and bodyguard of Mikhail Evdokimov, who were sitting in the first seat, immediately died on the spot. As the examination showed, Mikhail Evdokimov died immediately due to a fracture of the cervical vertebrae.
Of all the passengers, Mikhail's wife, Galina Evdokimova, survived. She was lucky that she was sitting behind the driver and did not take the strongest blow. But the consequences for her were terrible - a fracture of both legs. The driver of the Toyota, after what he saw, immediately ran up to the Mercedes and tried with all his might to help, but it turned out to be impossible, because all the doors were jammed from the impact.
Version through the eyes of eyewitnesses
People who discussed the tragedy began to notice some inexplicable mysteries of the life and death of Mikhail Evdokimov. A few days before the trip, Mikhail Evdokimov was deprived of the accompanying traffic police cars, which were supposed to ensure road safety. After the tragedy, the wife recalled the fact that her husband was very afraid to go without security and seemed to have a premonition of his death. Mikhail Evdokimov, according to his wife, was never so worried as before that trip. There was also a version that some time before the terrible tragedy, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Altai Territory was forced to leave his post, and the head was waiting for help from Evdokimov, but he did not help in this situation. In retaliation, Evdokimov was deprived of the accompanying column.
Immediately afterthe death of Mikhail Evdokimov, people began to notice similarities with other traffic accidents. For example, an accident where the mayor of Barnaul died. The same highway, the same two cars, the same flip and hitting a tree. And the most interesting thing is that in this accident, as in the case of Evdokimov, only his wife survived.
Secret Versions
After the tragedy, various conspiracy theories began to appear. Two options were the most reasonable. According to the first theory, the traffic accident was carefully staged by one of Evdokimov's enemies. And it was said that there was no “Toyota”, and the driver of the “Mercedes” was prevented by an oncoming car that was driving head-on. This version was confirmed by the fact that the police of the Novosibirsk District were looking for the same car. Zuev's friends agreed with this version of how Mikhail Evdokimov died.
The second option said that Mikhail Evdokimov still survived this terrible tragedy, but after the accident he was killed by breaking his neck. There is also evidence for this version, including indirect evidence. After all, the first to arrive at the scene of the tragedy was Alexander Surikov, the worst enemy of Evdokimov, who had previously held the position of governor.
Expert version
The popular magazine "Behind the wheel" also put forward a theory that made many concerned people think. According to calculations, it was revealed that the speed of Evdokimov's car was at least 150 kilometers per hour, which confirms the brake track almost 100 meters long. The analysis of experts also said that there was an oncoming car. There was also a seriesmysterious facts. For example, the day before the tragedy, the Mercedes was in service and, perhaps, something was changed in the system. There are still no answers why the anti-lock braking system did not work on the car. Also, for some reason, there were no witnesses on one of the busiest roads.
Media Opinion
Many journalists, when asked how Mikhail Evdokimov died, expressed the opinion that he could have been killed because he was trying with all his might to fight against corrupt business, when prohibited substances were imported into the country from the territory of neighboring Kazakhstan. But all the versions listed above are only guesses, because the official cause of death was an accident.
Investigation
After the first information appeared about the death of Mikhail Evdokimov, a hail of calls fell upon the administration of the Altai Territory. People demanded a thorough investigation of the incident, because most people thought that the death of Mikhail Sergeevich was not an ordinary traffic accident. Because of this, the press service of the administration for the Altai Territory was forced to hold a special press conference, which said that Evdokimov's death was the result of an accident. But people still believe that everything was set up because of malicious intent.
One of the most important reasons
Immediately after the disaster, many unanimously repeated that this was a set-up incident. People had a reason to judge so, because in recent months the situation between Mikhail Evdokimov and the Legislative Assembly of the region began to escalate. Evdokimov did not live up to expectationslocal deputies and very often dismissed officials from their positions. Any proposals Evdokimov developed into conflicts at every meeting of local authorities. To give an example, in the spring of 2005, absolutely every deputy assessed the work of Evdokimov unsatisfactorily and put up “deuces” after each meeting.
In May, a new person came to the post of vice-governor, and together with Evdokimov they decided to start a “cleansing” of the composition, offering to resign absolutely every member of the assembly in order to start creating a new government. The critical point of the conflict was the moment when, at one of the meetings, Mikhail Evdokimov refused to make a report on economic goals, arguing that there is no reliability in the field of finance with such deputies. It was the conflict with the deputies, according to experts, that caused the traffic accident to be set up on purpose and the murder of Yevdokimov still takes place in this situation.
Memory
The last time Mikhail Evdokimov appeared in public during sports competitions in his homeland, where he spent his entire childhood. All evening he talked with the villagers and sang for the guests his songs, which he composed while still an artist. On the site where Mikhail Evdokimov died, a memorial complex was erected, in which there is a small chapel and 47 birches - exactly as many years as Mikhail lived.
The death of Evdokimov was reflected in the feature film “Citizen Chief”,where in one of the episodes there was a moment similar to an accident involving Mikhail Evdokimov. And although the credits indicate that all coincidences are random, the name of the hero of the film sounds like Akimov.
Conclusion
The story of the death of Mikhail Evdokimov is very confusing, and in order to fully understand what really happened on that fateful August day, you need to visit the scene. A highway with good coverage, a difficult intersection and a hill that made it difficult for all drivers to see. On summer days, you can see a lot of accidents here. Maybe there was some kind of magical event behind the death of Governor Mikhail Yevdokimov? Be that as it may, several factors are to blame for the death of Mikhail Sergeyevich. And even if the accident was not set up and the politician was not killed, one thing can be said with certainty - he was killed. Ruined by hostility, bad thoughts, harassment and indifference. And no matter how hard it is to admit it, the mystery of Evdokimov's death will remain a mystery.
